Refreshing, Slow, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy classical theatre and are intrigued (and open-minded) enough to see a rarely-done piece. A bold effort but ultimately labored.

Don't see it if you're expecting Shakespeare. And yet Manoel Feliciano's nuanced, effortless performance revived the evening and made it all worth our time.

Don't see it if You're uncomfortable with intimate scenes onstage. There's various sexual references in the show.

Great acting, Intense, Period piece

See it if you like traditional takes on classical texts, you enjoy actors with facility for language, you enjoy the classics beyond Shakespeare

Don't see it if you like modern stories, you like to see new twists on classic works, you don't like heightened language.
